Babar Azam's Pakistan cricket team will be competing against the co-hosts Monank Patel-led United States in match 11 of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup 2024 which will be played at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas, on June 6 (Thursday). This is Men in Green's first game in this season of the mega tournament. On the contrary, a confident USA is coming into this match with an amazing victory over Canada. The former champions will be eyeing to get their campaign off with a winning start. USA on the other hand will try to pull off one of the biggest upsets in history by beating Pakistan and get on to a win streak.
Head-to-Head
Both teams have not faced each other yet in T20 Internationals. This will be their first meeting in the T20Is.
Pitch Report
The pitch during the night game between the USA and Canada was a legitimate high-scoring one. However, the day game between the Netherlands and Nepal was everything except a belter. With the USA versus PAK match being a day match, anticipate that the batters will have to try hard to score runs.
Weather Report
The good news is that the weather is expected to be clear, sunny, and bright. It is very unlikely that rain or bad weather will play spoilsport in the match between the USA and Pakistan.
